Ever been to Carrizozo? No? Ever heard of it? Still no? Travelers venture through this tiny town in south-central New Mexico and wonder: What is it doing here? Where did it come from? With this history, illustrator Rick Geary will hope to answer these questions and others. Despite its size and isolation, Carrizozo has a colorful railroad history, a host of local architectural wonders, and a thriving community of artists of all kinds. And, oh yes, it’s been home to Rick and his wife Deborah since 2007!
